For Immediate Release
Gettit Discloses Its Full CSAM Detection and Child Safety Stack — Setting the Standard the Dating App Industry Won't Talk About
March 31, 2026
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | April 1, 2026 | NEW YORK, NY
New York City, April 2026 — Gettit publishes a complete technical disclosure of its child safety infrastructure: a multi-layer system combining CSAM detection, NSFW content moderation, NCMEC CyberTipline integration, real-time account suspension, and human review — running on every photo and video upload before content is visible to any user.
Why Gettit Is Publishing This
Child safety infrastructure is one of the most important and least-discussed topics in consumer app development. Most companies treat their moderation systems as proprietary — disclosing enough to satisfy regulators while revealing little about actual implementation. Users, journalists, and policymakers have almost no basis for comparing how seriously different platforms take CSAM prevention.
Gettit is publishing its full stack because transparency creates accountability — for us and for the industry. If other platforms match or exceed this standard, users benefit. If they don’t, the contrast should be visible.
“Every app with user-generated content has a child safety responsibility. Most treat it as a legal checkbox. We built it as a core architectural requirement — something that runs on every upload, not just the ones that get reported. Publishing these details is our invitation to the rest of the industry to do the same.”
— Jax Sterling, CEO & Co-Founder, Gettit
Layer 1: CSAM Detection on Every Upload
Every photo and video uploaded to Gettit is run through a CSAM detection system before it is stored, served, or made visible to any user. A high-severity score triggers an immediate cascade:
- The upload is blocked and not stored
- The account is flagged in the moderation database
- Account access is suspended in real time
- An automated admin alert fires to the moderation team
- The incident is logged for human review
Fail-open moderation: if the detection system experiences an outage, the upload succeeds but is queued for a daily automated recheck. No content is assumed safe during a moderation outage.
Layer 2: NSFW Moderation and Face Detection
A computer vision system runs in parallel with CSAM detection on every photo upload, providing NSFW content moderation — flagging sexually explicit or suggestive content below the CSAM severity threshold — and face detection to confirm profile photos contain identifiable faces, a prerequisite for selfie verification.
NSFW content is quarantined for human review rather than automatically blocked, given higher false positive rates on non-CSAM adult content.
Layer 3: NCMEC CyberTipline Integration
Gettit has registered with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) as an Electronic Service Provider. The CyberTipline reporting pipeline is integrated into the CSAM detection cascade: when a detection event triggers at high severity, the reporting pipeline fires automatically with the required metadata.
NCMEC registration places Gettit in the same category as major technology platforms in terms of child safety obligations under 18 U.S.C. § 2258A.
Layer 4: Upload Rate Limiting and Real-Time Suspension
Upload rate limiting restricts users to 10 photo uploads per hour, preventing bulk upload attacks designed to overwhelm the moderation pipeline.
Account suspension from CSAM detection is enforced in real time: if an account is suspended while the user is actively in a session, they are ejected immediately rather than at next login. CSAM-related suspensions are not eligible for appeal.
Industry Context and the Transparency Challenge
The Technology Coalition — whose members include Apple, Google, Meta, and Microsoft — has published principles for addressing child sexual exploitation online. Most consumer dating apps are not Technology Coalition members and do not publish details of their CSAM infrastructure.
Multiple major dating platforms have been cited in research on CSAM prevalence on social and dating applications. Gettit’s architecture is designed to be the standard the industry is measured against, not the floor it settles for.
“There is no acceptable level of CSAM on a platform we operate. Not one image. Not one account. Building that commitment into the architecture — not just the policies — is the only way to actually mean it. We’re publishing this so people can hold us to it, and so other apps have to explain why they aren’t doing the same.”
